+A library to support the Internationalised Domain Names in Applications
+(IDNA) protocol as specified in RFC 5891. This version of the
+protocol is often referred to as IDNA2008 and can produce different
+results from the earlier standard from 2003.
+
+The library is also intended to act as a suitable drop-in replacement
+for the encodings.idna module that comes with the Python standard
+library but currently only supports the older 2003 specification.
